Description
Sant'Ermete is a church building in Forte dei Marmi featuring Romanesque Revival design that rises along Via Duca d'Aosta. Its facade is defined by a series of arches and columns that extend into the interior, creating a bright and structured space for worship.
History
The building was constructed in 1870 during a period of architectural renewal in the Tuscany region. It was built to serve the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Pisa and has shaped the religious life of this coastal town ever since.
